How to Enhance social office theme for Liferay - liferay-theme

I would like to enhance the social office theme for liferay : so-theme.
I tried to create a new theme with the liferay IDE but the default theme is still used.
Has anyone modified the social office theme?
Thanks a lot for yours answers

Ok, I found the answer on the liferay forum, answer from Liferay staff:
Unfortunately, changing so-theme is the only way to do it. We locked down the ability to deploy a theme because the majority of (most likely all) of the portal themes would be incompatible with the way we do a few things in SO.
Suggestion in the same forum post by Liferay Staff:
My suggestion for now would be to add another "include" line in the main.css at the very end and keep your changes there. I think this will make maintainability easier for you until we find a permanent solution for theming Social Office.
So it's not possible to create a new liferay theme based on so-theme. The only way is to directly modify the deploy theme.

Can Editable Template work on old archetype i.e AEM 6.1?

Actually we want to expose some of our content to a third party, so what we thought best is using a experience fragment and I have read that experience fragments actually work only on Editable templates. The question here is whether editable template can work on old archetype i.e AEM 6.1 as we cannot use the latest archetypes due to various reasons. Is there any solution for this?

Qlik Sense desktop: custom theme

I have Qlik Sense Desktop installed and trying to create a custom theme based on 'highvis' theme that's built in. my question is that what is the directory should I put my theme in? please note that i am using desktop version which does not have XXX/Qlik/Sense/Client/themes as in server version.
also since we can access through localhost:4848/resource/theme/highvis/... i guess that those resource files are published to some directory, does anyone know the directory?
Thanks!
The local theme folder is:
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\themes\SOMENEWTHEMENAMEFOLDER
then add the new theme name to the URL like you do with High Vis theme as described on this useful blog post:
http://webofwork.com/qlik-sense-high-vis-mode/
This is not a supported way of doing themes.
Thanks,
Adam
Pretty old post, but in case you need it for Qlik Sense 3 here is a good community post:
https://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-13517
On Sense Server themes are found here
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\themes
On Sense Dekstop (>= 3.0) themes are found here
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Qlik\Sense\Client\themes
Hope it helps, cheers!

What are the steps to create and use custom themes in OpenUI5 without SAP license?

I am looking for steps (end to end) on how to create and use custom theme in custom OpenUI5 apps.
I have looked at the OpenUI5 code in GitHub and it is still a bit not clear for me as far as the end to end process goes.
Here's what I have understood so far
Each control has its own *.less file for each theme and there is base.less with the color definitions.
A grunt task loops through the LESS files and generates one common library.css for each library (sap.ui.core, sap.m, etc..)
Add the CSS in the resources folder as shown here
Is this correct, or am I missing a way to create custom themes without any SAP software license?
I think the "UI Theme Designer" needs SAP software to be installed. I am looking for something not linked with the SAP environment.

Alfresco integration with Liferay

I'm wondering if Alfresco Out Of the Box can be configured to integrate with Liferay.
Or, must it be extended using custom content types/models before I can integrate it with Liferay.
Have you tried either of these? How has your experience been? We are using community Alfresco and Enterprise Liferay. I'm trying to see my options here. May be my question is too vague. Please throw in ideas if you think there's some aspects I'm completely missing.

Why can't I find the default Magento theme being loaded?

Should be pretty simple. I am trying to find what theme is being loaded in Magento to create my own custom theme. The problem is the mine (ver. 1.7.0.2) has no files in the frontend->default->default folder so I can't put any print statements there or see which template Magento is loading to learn more about it. Print statements in base->default don't seem to work either.
And where is the home page template located?
I don't know why Magento makes this so hard or maybe I'm just looking at old info that's not applicable anymore.
Turn on template path hints. Also disable the cache from System > Cache Management while you are doing any theme work.
+1 for other answer suggesting you turn on template path hints. That is a great way to figure out the structure of how things work in Magento.
I would also recommend the user guide. It's been updated to apply to 1.7. You used to have to pay for the guide but they make it available for free now.

As well as the latest designers guide that has info specific for templates etc.
